Stocks in Tools & Accessories

Stocks in the Tools & Accessories industry are also in the
Industrial Goods
sector.

Companies in the Industrial Goods sector make and sell heavy equipment for things like defense and construction. A Boeing or a Caterpillar may export lots of equipment to governments and corporations around the globe, so the state of the export market and global economy has a huge bearing on the behavior of their stocks. As well, the appetite for defense and aerospace spending can send these stocks up or let them tumble.
